MTB: Nepaug, CT - 10/19, 7am and 9am

[2knees]

i'm good for sunday but i cant do saturday. I have a sitter lined up so i'm good to go.

 

[bvibert]

I don't think I'm doing anything on Sunday. I'd be in for the early start time if I can make it.

 

[Greg]

So is this set for Sunday morning? A two leg ride, starting from the lot on 202 at 7 am and 9 am? Gonna be cold as a witch's tit. The forecast is calling for a low of 33 Saturday night.

I'm gonna try to get there by 8:30 or so. can i call your cell when i'm leaving so i can hook up with you guys when i get there?

Its just a matter of how quickly i can get the kids moving early in the morning. they act like 20 year old college kids when you try to wake them up. they grunt and groan and sneak off back to bed.

I would stick with a 9 am start time. That way others that want to start later can plan on us all meeting at the lot. No idea how cell coverage will be there anyway. Thread title updated.

 

[bvibert]

IIRC cell service is decent in there (for Verizon anyway).

 

[Greg]

BTW, I'm pretty much definitely in to start at 7 am. Roll call:

I should be able to do this. Hopefully rueler can make it to show us the goods, so we don't have to depend on my feeble tour again.

Never been to Nepaug, what kind of ride you guys doing @ 7? very slim chance i can make the first 1/2 but would leave @ 9. Have family stuff early on Sunday.

 

[rueler]

I'll be more definite by Thursday...I'll let you guys know!

I've only been to Nepaug once, but from what I remember there's a lot of singletrack interconnecting sections of fireroad. Lots of stuntry in there too. Hopefully Scott can join us early and lead. Knowing his pace we should cover a lot of ground between 7 and 9 am.

 

[Greg]

I could show you around.

I'm not as familiar with Nepaug as I am with Nass., but I know enough to be considered dangerous. I'll take you on some great single track trails...and of course, just about every trail at Nepaug has serious stunts on them...they mostly all have bypasses if you're not feeling it too. The trail that you would lose your stuffing on is Stormchaser. It's a downhill trail that has about 10 different dirt, rock or wooden jumps scattered throughout...the locals seemed to have converted the once smooth uphill route to the top of stormchaser into a hucker trail too!!

I don't know the name of that stunt you're talking about...but, it's insane!! That's not stormchaser or the flight simulator though...I can take you to all those things...and we'll finish up on the bobsled to the VW bug rollercoaster ladder bridge thingy...it's truly special!

This all sounds like fun. I'll hit some of the smaller jumps that are not gaps.

i would really like to try that wall ride. that looks sick.

That thing is effin insane. It starts at around 0:40:



That vid is a little slow paced, but it does give a decent perspective on how it is. It still doesn't do it justice though. I want to say that I might attempt that jump in the first 40 seconds of that vid, but I probably wouldn't even hit it fast enough to make the transition... :roll:

Gonna have to add some air to the suspension I think... :lol:

I believe it's called penile envy.

That's about the only stunt that I can reliably find... Maybe..

 

[Greg]

The video camera is going in the pack, me thinks. Pat - can I put the helmet cam rig job on your helmet? :lol:
